Request InfoID QuantiquePackaged in a standard TO-5 header, the id100-OEM single-photon detection module for the visible range has been introduced by id Quantique SA for large-volume OEM applications. The CMOS silicon chip combining a 50-μm-diameter Geiger-mode single-photon avalanche photodiode and a fast active quenching circuit is mounted atop a one-stage thermoelectric cooler. A thermistor is placed on the TE-cooled cold side and is accessible externally when temperature control is required. The device can be mounted by the customer on a printed circuit board.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaARTICLESPhotonics Spectra July 2022 IssueTwo Ceremonies Honor Photonics Technology Innovators in Munich, AachenThe jury of the Innovation Award 2022 has named winners of its annual awards at LASER World of PHOTONICS (LASER Munich), recognizing six companies that will take home top prizes in seven categories....WEBINARSPhotonics.com 1/21/2021Adding Various Spectroscopies to Any Standard MicroscopeMicrospectroscopy is the practice of performing various spectroscopies with sampling at the microscale and below.
